Designed in collaboration with Ringling College of Art and Design, this new facility for The Wellness Community of Southwest Florida will enable the regional nonprofit agency to better fulfill its mission of providing free support, education and hope to anyone affected by cancer.
The facility has already become an international model for serving as an optimal healing environment that integrates art, architecture, interior design and sustainability. As a high performance building, the client will realize long term savings in operating costs.
Evidence-based design was utilized extensively throughout the integrated project design process. Through its unique approach, evidence-based design synthesized input from the design team, users, volunteers, donors and stakeholders to establish measureable objectives in seven key areas: strategic plan, client outcomes and satisfaction, healing elements, staff satisfaction and effectiveness, sustainable design, operational efficiencies and financial performance. The design response for these key objectives is defined along with the metric goal, as well as the specific evidence or basis for the design response.
